The Rocking Chair

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Briana Corrigan] Here I walk, here I walk Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk Here I am, here I am With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan [Pre-Chorus 1: Corrigan, Dave Hemingway & Paul Heaton] And you thought you'd found your own little look How I misjudged, how I mistook And you thought you'd found the style of your hair I guess tonight I'll take I'll take these troubles to the rocking chair [Chorus 1: Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton] So I'll take these high-heeled shoes And yes, I'll take these traditional views I'll take this deep despair Of a thirty-year-old square to the rocking chair [Verse 2: Corrigan] Here I sit, here I sit Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit Here I stand, here I stand Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land [Pre-Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway & Heaton] And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak Where the wolf-whistle rung, there's a deafening shriek Blowing kisses into thin air I guess tonight I'll take I'll take these troubles to the rocking chair [Chorus 2: Corrigan, Hemingway, and Heaton] So I'll take this awkward stance And I'll take this sexless dance I'll take this deep despair Of a thirty-year-old square to the rocking chair [Bridge: Corrigan, Hemingway & Heaton] Am I skinny? A shade too fat? Mm, my friend the cat knows all about that Am I happy? (Here I sit) Just a little sad? (Here I sit) Mm, my friend the cat knows all about that (Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit) Am I skinny? (Here I walk) A shade too fat? (Here I walk) My friend the cat knows all about that (Looking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk) [Ad-lib] [Outro: Heaton] Are you happy? Are you happy? Just a little sad? Are you happy? Are you happy? Just a little sad?
